Veggie Rice Casserole

Here is my first post!

Okay, I know this doesn't look like much, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how yummy it is. This is a SODIUM FREE meal so it's completely healthy.

Ingredients:

8oz white mushrooms, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup broccoli florets
2 1/2 cups of broth (no sodium added)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup uncooked rice

Instructions:

1. Saute mushrooms and onions in skillet over medium heat until onions are soft and translucent.
2. Stir in broth and heat to boil. Remove from heat.
3. In a large baking dish, spread potatoes, rice and broccoli evenly. Sprinkle black pepper over ingredients.
3. Pour broth mixture evenly over rice, broccoli and potatoes. Cover well with foil.
5. Bake for 1 1/2 hours at 325.

Not only is this a great dish, but it's an easy way to get your carbs and veggies all at once. It's perfect next to fish, chicken or beef. I peronally loved it with some grilled chicken (seasoned with pepper and paprika).

Some variations you could do is substitute sweet potatoes for russet potatoes and cauliflower for broccoli. You could also make it pot roast-like and use carrots for the broccoli and serve it with beef, of course.
